Even though Volotea tries to keep to their schedule, flights may still arrive late. Fortunately, as a passenger, you are protected by air passenger rights when Volotea flights are delayed.
Since Volotea is based in the EU, nearly all of its flights are protected by EC 261, one of the most comprehensive laws globally protecting air passenger rights.
EC Regulation 261 gives passengers the right to claim compensation for delayed, cancelled, or overbooked flights that are not their fault.
There are some extraordinary circumstances such as bad weather or airport problems that may exempt airlines from paying compensation. However, if the delay is caused by technical issues or a strike by airline staff, you will likely be eligible for compensation under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004.
Additionally, you generally have up to 3 years to make a claim for compensation for a delayed Volotea flight. Just enter your flight information, and our user-friendly flight delay compensation calculator will determine if you qualify for monetary compensation, and our team of professionals will be available to help you obtain it.

In case of a flight cancellation by Volotea, Australian laws on air passenger rights are clear: Volotea must provide you with an alternate means of transportation to reach your destination or, if you prefer, a refund.
Additionally, if you received a cancellation notice less than 14 days before departure, you may also be eligible to claim compensation of up to {{ec261compensation} per person.
Generally, when Volotea cancels a flight, it will try to rebook passengers onto another flight at no extra cost. You can request other changes if the offered alternative flight does not suit you or if you no longer want to take that trip.
If Volotea can book you a new flight that lands at a similar time to your original flight, it is not required to pay any compensation. This is because you will reach your destination with minimal disruption to your plans. However, in many cases, passengers whose flights are canceled at the last minute have the right to file a claim against Volotea for compensation.
All of this applies unless the flight cancellation was caused by an event beyond the control of Volotea, such as adverse weather conditions or an accident at the airport. These events are referred to as exceptional circumstances.
